Soon I will be back on the sets, says the glamorous mom Geeta Basra
After your son Jovan was born, what were your immediate thoughts?
Jovan has brought so much joy in our lives. We really feel complete as a family. It’s a great feeling.
Since this is the second time you have experienced motherhood, was it a bit easier?
I would say every child is different and so is the journey. When you have two children you need to strike the right balance between them. I am still learning and experiencing it. The bonding between my kids is awesome.
Eating right is important for a mother. How are you managing all of it?
Eating right is important for anyone. Especially in this pandemic time, one should always eat healthy. Before my pregnancy also I led a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is very important for a good immune system.
As a celebrity, there must’ve been pressure to lose weight?
No. We Punjabis are foodies. I never gained weight during my pregnancy, always gained after delivery. And, it’s okay. A new mother should never be hard on herself.
How will you describe Harbhajan Singh as a father?
He is a hands-on father. But he does not get much time to spend with the kids because of his cricketing career.
How important is it for a mother to have ‘me’ time?
It is an extremely important practice. Recently, I was out to meet my friends and I had a great time.
The pandemic situation has been a great learning curve for all of us, what has been your takeaway?
It’s a blessing for me. I have had some great time at home with my kids and Harbhajan. We have done so many things together. The bad part is that outdoor activity time has been reduced. There are certain things which we used to do outside like shopping and my prenatal classes, but all are happening online now.
Do you miss shooting and the spotlight of being an actress?
Yes, I do miss the action because acting has been my passion. Bhajji is an extremely busy cricketer and we don’t believe in leaving our kids for work. One parent should be with the kids at home. But, very soon I will be back on the sets.
Do you feel a biopic should be made on the life of Harbhajan Singh?
Certainly, because he is a legendary cricketer and his life story is very inspiring and people should get to know him.
